5-29-03: Home Haiku

Thursday, May 29 2003

9:20am   While showering, had an idea for a poetry collection "Home Haiku" with haiku about normal at home living events. My first idea:

Red Leaves and Berries

Pressed Against My Moistened Skin

Pictures On A Towel

2nd idea:

Tray By The Bedside

Water, Tea, Glasses, Remote

All Necessities

This is either a really good idea, or really dumb.

We have an appointment at 11:00 am today with a building owner in Galion. We're going to look at the location that would be affordable & sized right to hold our future business. David is downstairs at the computer crunching numbers, while I play with words...

[J] & [A] came over for lunch yesterday. Nice visit. They really seemed to like our place and they looked at every nook & cranny. The barn was a hit, but the house was really to their liking. Also, they loved the view and the shape of the land around us. 

David got the sense that [A] still isn't emotionally ready to part with the Pond House, so we have a few years (if he's right) to figure out how to keep this new place we love and buy up the old place to keep it in the family.

Talked to Dad on the phone yesterday @ 5:30pm (11:30pm their time). Brief call since it's probably extremely expensive, but it was good to hear they're doing well after all their travels. Elsie landed a $330 fine at the airport for an overweight suitcase!
